HDAV Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-39882553 Large number of guns and cartridges stolen. Not good hope the people involved are unharmed and the scum get done properly. EDIT just noticed this was back in March (why have BBC only now published the report?)

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 I would hazard a guess that the BBC publish when they are given the details from Crimestoppers or the Police! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buze Posted May 12, 2017 Report Share Posted May 12, 2017 (edited) Whats a large number? 10 is very easy to get, especially as a shooting couple. 2 OU per person (1 + one spare of sort) = 4 2 SxS per person = 4 Odd hammer gun, odd 410, odd "Oh I really like that semi auto" is 3 or 4 and you already have 10+ guns... I can see that for a couple shooting for a long time, 18 isn't terribly hard to reach... especially if you like keeping gun you outgrown or something....

TIGHTCHOKE Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 I have 15 at the moment, 18 is nothing out of the ordinary. If you were told to hand over your keys, you probably would too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhawk Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 I once sold a shotgun to a bloke who had over 40 shotguns he apparently built he's spare room into a gun room and had to have a monitor alarm. Another bloke I met who was a target shooter and a hunter he had over 30 firearms not including moderators about 4 were fac shotguns and afew rimfires with the rest being centrefire rifles quite afew being same calibre.

Scully Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 A cousin of mine who at the time of Dunblane was the treasurer (?) of Bishop Auckland gun club, owned over 40 firearms. All were surrendered as part of the compensation scheme following the ban. Another shooter in our local club, surrendered over 20 and for the same reason.

deadeye18 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 This was near to me,surprised nobody round here heard of this.I hope the scumbags get caught asap though I'm guessing the guns will have all been sold off for a pretty penny by now.One of the pitfalls of living on a farm is that you are very exposed and police can't reach you as quickly as you'd like in these situations if your able to raise the alarm fast enough.I hope the victims are recovering well.

silverhawk Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Should be allowed as many as u like as long as there secured.I used to have well over 15 but now have about 8 of various calibres which all get used regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye18 Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Should be no limit on how many or what type of any firearm you can own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord O War Posted May 13, 2017 Report Share Posted May 13, 2017 Oh OH can I play this as well. I think there is no reason for car to do over 70 mph, engines should be 1L or less as it just needs to get the car moving, err what else oh you shouldn't have a house that has rooms you don't use., all food should be blended so we can get rid of knives and forks I'm sure that there is loads of other things we could do with out as well. /sarc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
